People musing about what keeps Mike Huckabee in the race for the presidency have wondered if he's sowing the ground for future television deals, angling for a vice presidential nod or getting ready to run for the White House again in 2012... He told half a dozen audiences over the last three days in Wisconsin that he can still win or, at the very least, give voice to conservative voters not yet sold on the presumptive Republican Party nominee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona... They called out "Amen!" as their man noted he was the only remaining candidate to support...

I certainly wouldn't want to create problems for the charming and intelligent Contessa Brewer [file photo]. But again today the MSNBC anchor said something that made me wonder whether she might be a closeted conservative in the belly of the liberal beast.

But anybody who thinks Janet Huckabee is background material, hasn't heard of her high-profile daredevil days as Arkansas' first lady. In those days, Mrs. Huckabee, or Mrs. H -as she's known- could be seen jumping out of planes, playing paintball, paddling in a cardboard canoe and brandishing a rifle (yes, she hunts -- turkey usually, but she's also trapped bears). "Jumping out of the airplane was not something I was afraid to do... The bears were asleep. That's...

<p>Gov. Mike Huckabee was supposed to glide to re-election over Jimmie Lou Fisher, a Democratic Party functionary whose job in her 22 years as state treasurer has involved little besides signing government checks.</p>
<p>But suddenly he is in a dogfight: a poll for the Arkansas News Bureau gives Mr. Huckabee a lead of only 46 percent to 44 percent. The poll was released last Thursday, the same day a fund-raising letter turned up in which the governor warned that his campaign was in ''crisis.''</p>

Like hundreds of thousands of Arkansas women, she balances a career, a family, a home, an active social life, and the family checkbook. But there’s one added responsibility ? she’s the wife of a presidential candidate. Janet Huckabee has lived most of her adult life in what she refers to as a “glass bowl.” That glass bowl grew from the scrutinized life of a pastor’s wife to that of Arkansas’ first lady during Mike Huckabee’s more than 10 years as governor. And that glass bowl recently grew again, to a nationwide proportion, when her husband threw his hat in into...
